Austrian Billionaire Pays $150,000 for a Date with Lindsay Lohan

Austrian billionaire Richard Lugner is continuing his 19 year old tradition of buying a celebrity date to one of Austria's premier social events, the Vienna Opera Ball, and this year the lucky lady will be none other than Lindsay Lohan. Lugner is a 77 year old divorced father of three that apparently gets a kick out of paying for bombshell celebrity escorts -- in years past he's had the likes of Paris Hilton, Pamela Anderson, and Sophia Loren on his arm for the event. This year Lohan was his second choice, after British actress Katie Price became unavailable, and rumors suggest she's turning out to be a high-maintenance date as she's refusing to choose a gown ahead of time and Lugner is going to be partly responsible for making sure she doesn't drink during the event (including having all the liquor removed from the mini-bar in her hotel room).

A real disaster in the making. She probably wont even show up.

Wow, he could have done way, way better... in fact he would have gotten a better date by picking up a street ho... and a much classier one too.

Wish that someone like that could pick someone who could use the money.

That might be one time when she actually made a good decision!! LOL! What a creepy looking guy!

Please note that Katie Price is not an actress. She's an ex-glamour model and an author.

Or~~~~ How about the next one be Octuplet Mom????

What is 'an ex ex-glamour model'?

Mandi Feb 6th 2010 2:48AM

You act like being an author is a bad thing. Why are you reading this article then. Hey I would love to be an author and model. Life really wouldn't be so bad.

Niyi Crown Feb 6th 2010 5:52AM

At no point did I say being an author is a bad thing however I'm guessing you're not from the U.K. Let's just say her public image over here has not been at it's best for the last 5 years. Me saying she's an ex glamour model and an author is me being nice about her. Really she's a "Kiss and sell" story seller; A tabloid superstar as such.

Sounds like a dirty old man to me. Pays the $150K for the date then negotiates the dessert later.. And we all know that Lohan is a very open candidate for that.

Leonn Feb 5th 2010 8:19PM

I know shes got enough money already...really sound like high class prostitution to me...

Dude! Nobody's asking them to get 'down and dirty'.It's just an accompanyment to a social event. It's just a novelty publicity move for an old billionaire, it's for FUN ! Then the girls can keep the money or give it to charity. It's by choice, by the way!

IF HE BRINGS THE HEROIN, IT SHOULD WORK OUT OK.

Well this just confirms everything I always thought of Anderson, Hilton, and Lohan. If it walks like a duck.....nothing but nasty whores! Hilton with pics of men with their fingers up her dress - no class, no shame. Lohan, the name says it all. And Anderson looks like Phyllis Dillers twin sister.

Plus with him being a billionaire and paying only $150,000 well even he knows their "cheap."
